Allan Sherman Bye Bye Blumberg lyrics

My name is Charlie Blumberg
And I travel everywhere
'Cause I'm a traveling salesman
So I fly from here to there

In every town I visit
Folks must think I'm really swell
'Cause everytime I leave a town
I get a fond farewell

Every time I fly away people cry
And they say, "Bye bye, Blumberg"
It's a shame I have to go
Seeing as how they miss me so
Bye bye, Blumberg

Once I took a trip with Irving Cohen
No one even noticed he was goin'
Me they smashed across the head
With champagne
And they said, "Blumberg, bye bye"

Packed my Playboy magazine
Drip-dry shirt and Dramamine
It's bye bye, Blumberg

All night I'm like Don Juan
But sorry, girls, I fly at dawn
Bye bye, Blumberg


The stewardess says, "Fasten safety belt, sir"
Then she serves me coffee, tea, or seltzer
And each night when I retire
The Mormon Tabernacle choir sings
"Blumberg, bye bye"

I was in Cambodia
They don't say hello to ya
Just, "Bye bye, Blumberg"

In the Archipelagos
No matter where a fella goes
Bye bye, Blumberg

Even in Arabia when I fly by
Abdul Nasser stands there waving bye bye

And you'll see when I'm really gone
In neon lights at Forest Lawn
"Blumberg, bye bye"

Beloved Blumberg
Oh, Blumberg, ah, bye bye
Look up in the sky
You will find a Blumberg of happiness
